The Princess Saves Herself in This One is a collection of poetry in four parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, and you. Honestly, I have a hard time calling this poetry because it’s more than that. This collection is raw emotion and life experiences manifested as words. It’s pain, suffering, self-reflection, self-discovery, love, loss, and more. I could spend years reading and re-reading it, carefully editing this draft, and I still wouldn’t be able to do it justice.

As I read this, I had a couple of thoughts between sudden outbursts of tears. One was that I hadn’t read a collection of poetry that I related to and felt the words so deeply since my first encounter with Sylvia Plath’s poetry when I was a teenager. The second was that I probably should have read it with tissues and wine.

I’ve had book hangovers before, but what I’m experiencing after reading The Princess Saves Herself in This One isn’t a book hangover, it’s a haunting. The words won’t leave me, and I’m ok with that. I bought the Kindle edition of this because A) I could have it and read it faster, and B) money was tight when I bought it. But, I think I’m going to order a physical copy ASAP because I want this on my poetry shelf. Something this important, something that touched my life in the way this book did (which I can’t convey in words, so I’m not going to try)… it deserves a spot on my shelf. I’m certain this will be something I read again…and again.

the princess saves herself in this one Amanda Lovelace 9781532913686 Books Reviews

This poetry collection knows how to capture your attention from the very first page. The author starts it off by dedicating it to Harry Potter – the boy who lived -, and from then on out you’ll be immersed into a raw, emotional, and powerful journey of living, loving, self-acceptance, and growth.
What’s so different about this book is the fact that the first three parts the princess, the damsel, and the queen, are extremely personal to the author.

The thing about Lovelace’s poems is that she makes you feel like you’re the protagonist- front and center. Even when these poems talked about things like grief and certain events in the author’s life, you could still feel as if there was something in there that called out to you and gave you an emotional punch. I could feel the pain between her words. I could relate so well to her personal struggles. In the YOU part, there are so many important and empowering poems that are both lovely and harsh at the same time. They talk about different things so relevant to society today, like feminism and race, which I really appreciated. I felt like Amanda took my thoughts and transformed them into poetry. All these poems are extremely heart-wrenching and beautiful; and I was easily bookmarking every other page.

I loved how each section of the book seemed to flow seamlessly, and we could truly see as the “princess” in the book transformed with each poem. We could see the author’s journey from being damaged and broken to strong and whole. Each new entry seemed like a new side of the princess, and it was easy to love the character we were seeing before us.

I really love that free verse poetry has been gaining more momentum lately, and it disappoints me that so many people look down on it because of it’s non-conventional formatting. I think it’s severely under appreciated. The structure of these poems in the book are actually so clever. The way each space between the words or between the paragraphs are placed actually invoke something in you while you’re reading.

Overall, Amanda Lovelace has crafted a beautiful work of art in this collection. She has given us a piece of her soul and shown us the transformation of a princess into a queen. This is for sure, a poetry book you shouldn’t miss!
5/5

(I have a feeling that this will be on my top 2016 books)

I kept seeing this book around, so when it was free on I decided why not try it out? I AM SO INCREDIBLY GLAD I DID! This book was incredibly powerful, it is just.... so so SO powerful. But more on that later, first here is the summary!

The Princess Saves Herself in this one is divided into four separate parts, The Princess, The Damsel, The Queen and You. I don't read poetry books often, honestly, I don't like poetry all that much. The only other poetry book I read was Poisoned Apples, which like this book dealt with some heavy topics, although Poisoned Apples was more of a feminist book... I'm not entirely sure how to review poetry, so I wrote down some thoughts for each part, but first, here's the short of it!

In its entirety

This book deals with some heavy topics, but they are IMPORTANT issues like anorexia, depression, and abuse just to name a few.
The poetry was just so... AMAZING. I can't explain it but the way the words moved was fast paced but oh so interesting and I just could not put this book down. It was captivating and heart breaking but near the end, it became warm/had a good message.
The Princess Saves Herself in this One started off very dark, and sad but near the end things get better. Like I said, the message was FANTASTIC (I think I'm going to buy it!)
Very short and quick read, so people with not a lot of time can finish it in about an hour! SHARE IT with others!

The Princess

This is probably one of the darkest beginnings I've ever read. But in the summary, it says that the first three parts are the authors life and the final is a message to the reader. The Princess (from what I picked up) deals with Anorexia, depression and bullying.
Though this was really dark, it was POWERFUL and I can't say that enough. This book nearly brought me to TEARS. The message was just so GOOD and I just CANT explain how AMAZING this one, honestly, everyone should read it. The YOU part is what got to me the most D well, all four parts go to me....

The Damsel

My interpretation of this was young love and broken hearts.
There as a LOT of loss in this chapter, a LOT and I was close to crying. I'm not a fan of poetry, but this poetry was so beautifully worded and pieced together and it made me feel things. It (not this section) made me smile/feel victorious and cry (this chapter DID make me cry!)

The Queen

This section was about loving yourself, and growing stronger.
THIS is where the book starts to get a lighter feel and like all three other sections, was POWERFUL (I can't say that enough D<)

You

This final part of the book was one of the most POWERFUL (I said it again) endings ever. The first two parts are sadness and grief, bullying and hurt, The Queen is about growing stronger and healing, but YOU is all about the reader. You is a message to treat people better, to know your worth and love yourself, to care more and to not let anyone treat you like your garbage.

Fable's Final Thoughts

THE PRINCESS SAVES HERSELF IN THIS ONE was a very great poetry book, I think EVERYONE should read it, including you so here, go to and read it now. Share it with your friends and family and that random stranger at Starbucks.
